Four Pieces Of Technology That Can Improve Your Fitness From Home – Forbes

Theragun can become a vital tool when training at home

With gyms and public facilities shut indefinitely amid the global coronavirus pandemic while many millions of people are on enforced lockdown, maintaining your physical health is more essential than ever.

While working out from home provides many challenges, there are key pieces of technology on the market that can make it easier than ever to improve health and fitness in challenging conditions.

From EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) technology, to percussive therapy, here are the key pieces of technology you need:

AVROX OXYGEN DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY

With cycling one of the few activities the U.K. government continue to recommend amid the lockdown, now is the perfect opportunity to improve performance on the bike.

Developed at Oxford University by an AF Harvey Prize-winning Professor of Engineering Science and independently tested at the University of Surrey, Avrox is a new way of delivery oxygen rapidly through hydration.

Its as simple as pouring a sachet into a 200ml water bottle and shaking to activate.

While most performance and wellness drinks contain a blend of vitamins, electrolytes and sugar, Avrox identified the fact that water doesnt naturally hold additional oxygen and set about creating a product to change that.

Researchers at Oxford University spent five years formulating a product that used natural ingredients, capable of capturing, holding and transporting oxygen when added to water.

Its effectiveness has since been validated by cyclists within Surrey Universitys Human Performance Institute.

SIXPAD EMS TRAINING TECHNOLOGY

As pioneers in the field of electrical muscle stimulation technology (EMS), SIXPADsproductsforce muscles to contract and relax just as they would during exercise.

Professor Toshio Moritani researched and studied the training effects of EMS for over 40 years to identify their unique 20Hz, optimum training frequency.

On that, research has validated its ability to maintain muscle tension over time, affording sustained and efficient training as well as proving effective in rehabilitation and strengthening programmes.

Fast-twitch muscle fibres fundamental to muscle tone are targeted without the need for heavy loading at 20Hz, making this a useful tool for recovery or for those without full muscle use.

Each product delivers training through a unique 23-minute automatic programme cycle calculated for efficiency, taking the user through warm-up, training and cool down phases.

THERAGUN

Look no further than Theraguns percussive massage therapy to prime your body for peak performance, spark back into life fatigued muscles and fast track your recovery between training sessions.

Physician calibrated by founder and chiropractor Dr. Jason Wersland, their unique combination of high amplitude (16mm) and low frequency (2400rpm) overrides pain signals sent to the brain,reaching 60% deeper into the muscle than consumer-grade vibration massagers.

Thismuscular relief translates toimproved recovery, reducing tension like no other device of its kind.

HALO SPORT BRAIN STIMULATION TECHNOLOGY

Unusual as it sounds, Halo Sports brain stimulation technology aids the faster development of muscle memory, supported by over 4,000 peer reviews, and over 15+ years of academic research.

Specifically, Halo Sports patented technology is delivered through the application of a small electric current through headphones, to the part of the brain that controls movement.

This increases neuroplasticity (very simply the ability of the brain to adapt and change through strengthening connections between neurons) forcing the brain into a state of hyper learning.

The activated neurons fire more often when training, and when more neurons fire together, faster pathways are built in your brain.

Numerous studies have validated the effectiveness of the technology, independent studies showing a 17% improvement in sprint cycling performance and a 14.8% improvement in running endurance respectively.

If thats not enough, in house tests have found the technology to accelerate strength development by 20%, with the process of learning fine motor skills accelerated by up to 60%.

It takes just 20 minutes for a pre-workout neuro priming session, after which you can take off Halo Sport or keep it on and listen to music the performance benefits are the same.
